Harden-Runner GitHub Action installs a security agent on the GitHub-hosted runner (Ubuntu VM) to

Hijacked dependencies and compromised build tools typically make outbound requests to exfiltrate data or credentials, or may modify source code, dependencies, or artifacts during the build.
Harden-Runner automatically correlates outbound traffic, file modifications, and process activity with each step of a workflow. You can also set a policy to restrict outbound traffic.
Check out the [hands-on tutorials](https://github.com/step-security/supply-chain-goat) to learn how Harden-Runner would have prevented past supply chain attacks and read this [blog post](https://infosecwriteups.com/detecting-malware-packages-in-github-actions-7b93a9985635) on how Harden-Runner detected malicious packages.
Harden-Runner helps you answer these two important questions:
1. Is source code being overwritten during the build process to inject a backdoor? ([SolarWinds incident scenario](https://github.com/step-security/supply-chain-goat/blob/main/MonitorSourceCode.md))
2. Are unexpected outbound network calls being made during the workflow? ([Codecov breach](https://github.com/step-security/supply-chain-goat/blob/main/RestrictOutboundTraffic.md), [Dependency confusion](https://github.com/step-security/supply-chain-goat/blob/main/DNSExfiltration.md), [Malicious dependency](https://github.com/step-security/supply-chain-goat/blob/main/CompromisedDependency.md) scenarios)

You will see a process monitor view of what activities happened as part of each step. This currently includes the programs that made outbound calls and did file writes to source code or dependencies.

5. If outbound network call is made to an endpoint not in the allowed list or if source code is tampered, you will see an annotation in the workflow run.
